Collecting Cardinals

I am working on a collection of all St. Louis Cardinal and St. Louis Browns cards from 1973 and older.

Believe it or not, there are cards from the 1950s and 1960s that are really hard to find. To make it more difficult, my collection is limited to cards that are in Near Mint condition or better. (prior to 1950, Excellent condition) So far, I would estimate my collection is 80 percent or more complete back to 1950, although I do have some tough hi numbers yet to go, plus some Musial cards. I have a few pre-1950 cards together, but we have a long way to go there.

In compiling this collection, I have purchased many lots of cards over the years that are either duplicates or otherwise not suitable for my team set collection. I have taken these extras and sold many at card shows, including the National Sports Collectors Convention, and intend on selling many on ebay. Stay tuned.

I have found collectors of other teams from across the country that share my interest in collecting their team. Eventually I would like to use ebay to help other team collectors meet their needs. I am trying to get eBay to popularize "choice" auctions in the trading card and books categories, so if you would like to join the campaign, email eBay.

Meanwhile, you will see items for sale from many other collecting interests, so check back often. And don't be shy about telling me about scarce 1950s hi number cards that might become available.

Several of our group,including myself, were interviewed on camera by 60 Minutes II about our online experiences. This was fun.

I even received a call asking if they could send a film crew to my home and film my search for a few elusive Stan Musial cards. The neighborhood is still talking.

Well, for some reason my speaking parts all hit the cutting room floor, but I did get my 20 seconds of fame, with the camera showing my Cardinal collection and me at the computer trying to buy another Musial item.

Where did I put that Musial Jersey, anyway? That is me in the front row, in the blue shirt.
